The search for the mysterious Yeti takes a group of scientists into an expedition they fear that they might not survive and an adventure that if they do, they'll never forget. Stranded in the middle of a freezing wilderness, a group of explorers are rescued by scientists searching for a link between pre-historic and modern man. Frozen in time, the Yeti suddenly appear out of nowhere. Are they friendly links to a long ago past or monsters? This gives the audience the chance to figure this out for themselves and see the humans both as monster and civilized man, while surprising revelations come out that among the science fiction nonsense might get the audience thinking. This is probably the best of the Jerry Warren no budget thrillers, certainly as far from a masterpiece as one can be, but at least with a minimum of imagination put into it. There's really hardly any acting involved; In fact, the cast are among the lousiest non reactors that I have ever seen. What makes this even more curious is the fact that even in the midst of this frigid cold, the men all wear hats with feathers in them as if they were climbing the Alps to yodel. When the Yeti does appear, you never really get to feel anything but sorry for them, because it is their space which is (once again) being invaded by "civilized" man. There are some truly horrific sequences where a few members of the traveling party fall what seems indefinitely off of the jagged, rocky cliffs. I guess since the other two on the DVD collection are either just pathetically bad or sleep-inducing boring that this one gets marks for simply becoming tolerable.
